Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of fiber laser coherent synthesis, in particular to a phase control system and a phase control method for carrying out real-time inclination and piston synchronous locking on a fiber laser array by adopting a high-speed camera.
Background
The laser array coherent synthesis technology is one of important methods for obtaining high-power laser and maintaining high beam quality, and can be widely applied to the fields of laser communication, phased array laser radar and the like.
The fiber laser coherent combining system is mostly realized by using a main oscillator power amplification structure, a laser array is from the same path of seed laser to ensure the coherence between light beams, but the piston phases between the sub light beams are greatly different because the laser array respectively experiences different optical paths. In addition, since the emission devices between the sub-beams are independent of each other, the exit optical axes have a tilt error from each other. In the field of coherent synthesis, errors of a piston phase and an inclined phase of a laser array are main factors which cause reduction of a synthesis effect and reduction of brightness of a synthesized light spot, so that in a coherent synthesis system, a closed-loop control system is adopted to correct the piston phase and the inclined phase in real time and maintain the beam quality of a synthesized light beam.
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a fiber laser array phase and tilt closed loop control system previously used by the applicant. The system is designed based on a Master Oscillator Power Amplifier (MOPA) structure, and comprises a seed optical fiber laser 101, an optical fiber beam splitter 102, a plurality of phase modulators 103, a plurality of optical fiber amplifiers 104, a plurality of adaptive optical fiber collimators 105, a laser beam combiner 106, a piston phase control system 107 and an inclined phase control system 108. The core idea of the system is to separate the inclination and the piston into a closed loop to realize the implementation and correction of the phase error of the piston and the inclination phase. However, the system does not fundamentally remove the coupling relationship between the tilt phase and the piston phase, and the control strategy is to use the different characteristic frequencies of the tilt phase noise and the piston phase noise, so that the control characteristic of the piston phase is not greatly influenced in the control process, but the coupling effect between the two phase noises influences the control effect of the phase control system in a large array element fiber laser control system or a strong noise environment, so that the phase-locked system scheme shown in fig. 1 is not suitable for being used as a fiber laser array to simultaneously control the tilt and the piston phase of the laser array under a strong noise condition.
